Dear list,

Hope some of you are familiar with gnome taskbar locker.  sorry if I mention the wrong name but as I recall from memory it is called something like that. It is a very useful feature. You can put your favorite application or alike application in taskbar locker. Say you put filezilla, pidgin, firefox, claws-mail in a locker called net. Now when ever you click on that locker it will expand and you can select any application in that locket to start. Hope I can explain the concept. It is available in Gnome. How can I get that type of locker for icewm ? any clue ?

Thanks

Hi,
as far as I know, there is nothing like that in IceWM. But it would be
nice to have more than one menu button on panel and different keyboard
shortcut for each of them.

Locker's main disadvantage is/was no keyboard control -- mouse only. So
it is useless for many users.

You can always create entries in ~/.icewm/toolbar:

menu "net" /path/to/net-icon {
     prog "Filezilla" /path/to/filezilla-icon filezilla
     ...
}

Bernd
